Stay in the loop

The best crepes in Toronto are things of contradiction. Wafer thin but sturdy enough to be stuffed to bursting with all kinds of fillings, beautifully presented yet put together in minutes, and mainly eaten casually but notoriously tough to make, these slender French pancakes are the belle of the ball at brunch, breakfast or anytime.

Here are the best crepes in Toronto.

1

Millie Creperie

This little place with locations in Kensington Market and near King and Spadina does a lot: crepe cakes and crepes both sweet and savoury. They’re served Japanese style, meaning rolled into a cone, and served with ingredients like matcha and azuki.

Crepes a GoGo (Annex)

Near Bloor and Spadina, a bonkers array of crepes are served up here, crepes piled up with toppings on or directly next to the griddle. There are tons of vegetarian, fish, sweet & savoury, and dessert options.

Crepe It Up

This place in the bowels of the St. Lawrence Market fills their crepes with a couple craveable combinations like peanut butter and bacon bits or Peking chicken.

4

Hibiscus Cafe

This gluten-free, vegetarian and organic cafe in Kensington makes it easy for health-conscious brunchers to have crepes too as they make their crepes with vegan buckwheat batter. There are vegan mozzarella, cheddar and dulce de leche options, as well as plenty of great dairy and veggie combos for cheese eaters.

5

Crepe TO

The guys at this Church and King spot crank out crepes like nobody’s business, many with Toronto theming like “The Raptors” (salami, an egg, mushrooms, spinach, pesto) and “Good Morning T.O.” (egg, bacon, cheddar, garlic aioli). They crack the eggs for these crepes right onto the pancake griddle in front of the window.

Krepesz European Palacsinta Cafe

Another contender in the Kensington crepe-off, this cafe bar is for those who want to get their drank on while declaring with their crepe choice, “I Am The Party” (nutella, walnuts, Bacardi), “I Am Cheezy” (filled with cheese and served folded in half and cut into four with sour cream “Tito Style”) or simply “I Am Awake” (egg, cheese, spinach, tomato, ham).

Pastel

Crepes Club

The velvety, lusciously drapey crepes at this Baldwin Village establishment are reasonably priced and easy to get with a ton of delivery options. Options are wild for fillings too, with general tao chicken, teriyaki chicken, red caviar, and condensed milk all on the menu.

Yellow Cup Cafe

This place in Etobicoke has been in the crepe business for over ten years. Simple classics are well represented here, with crepes coming in options like butter and syrup, pecan, seasonal fruit, and a “Polish” option with cottage cheese, cream cheese and strawberry sauce.
